Greg Anderson is the founder of Cancer Recovery Foundation International, a global affiliation of national organizations whose mission is to help all people prevent and survive cancer.
Cancer Recovery Foundation focuses on the human services side of cancer. It does not fund clinical research or medical treatments. The Foundation provides adults with training and support for implementing whole-person cancer prevention and survival strategies. Children with cancer and their families are served through the Children’s Project. The Foundation has established affiliates in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and France.
Greg Anderson was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer in 1984. He was given 30 days to live. Refusing to accept the hopelessness of this prognosis, he went searching for people who had lived even though their doctors had told them they were “terminal.” His findings from interviews with over 16,000 cancer survivors form the strategies and action points for what has become an international cancer survival movement.
Anderson is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading wellness authorities. He is the author of eight books which have been translated into 29 languages.

This book is worth your time! Greg shares his personal journey of growth and overcoming adversity. He encourages each reader to take a true look into their own lives and then take steps to self improvement today. This is a must read for all young men. Young women of course will benefit from this read as well for not only personal growth but to understand the women in their lives in a new way.

Great read.
Feel like I got to know him at a deep level and then the boo shows you how to apply the lessons.
Here are my top 3 lessons learned:
1. Adversity isn’t the interruption. It’s the assignment.
2. Your response matters more than your reality
3. Confidence is built in the moments no one sees
